Abstract
An anti-ripple injection method for injecting an anti-ripple signal into a control system of a pump is disclosed. The control system controls an electric motor via an electric motor drive, and the electric motor drives the pump. The anti-ripple signal causes pressure ripples in the pump output to be at least partially cancelled. The anti-ripple injection method includes: injecting an anti-ripple signal of any waveform into the control system, the anti-ripple signal being represented by the following equation: f(θ)=ΣmAm cos(mθ+θm), wherein θ is the rotation angle of the motor shaft, m is the order of a signal harmonic in the anti-ripple signal, Am and θm are parameters with respect to the mth signal harmonic. A control system of a pump including the anti-ripple injection apparatus, and a pump system including the control system are also disclosed.
